the book the secret of the fbi which, of course, gave me a lot of access to the fbi. what happened is that last spring the fbi was scanning e- mails and came across one of his e-mails in his military account referring to something under the desk and they interpreted that as corruption meaning under the table payments and so they looked into it. it turned out it referred to having sex with his mistress and the fbi started an investigation and then they found that the woman had broken up with him and petraeus continued to e-mail thousands of e-mails to her despite the fact that she didn't want them. so that raised another question about judgment and then the fbi expected that he would be forced out immediately because this is a violation of top secret security clearance procedures. you can't compromise yourself to be in a position to be blackmailed by a foreign intelligence service, for example. and the white house said -- >> you say the fbi found out about this some time ago and if this would have put him in such a compromising position, why do you any it took so long
